once in austria of the top notch grades of mounting concern that the blocks failing to control its debt epidemic. also russia's failed mars probe focus groups fall into the ocean two months after its launch dispelling fears it might cause damage to the to earth on return but we have been getting conflicting reports about whether it's actually ended up in the pacific all the atlantic or somewhere in between the one of the next couple of hours. midnight thirty one moscow time next then the author of dictatorship to democracy speaks to us gene sharp's books described by some as the blueprint for nonviolent revolutions art is going to teach you can now ask whether that concept though is realistic. i'm sitting down with gene sharp his book from dictatorship to democracy is seen by many as a guide on how to carry out a revolution through nonviolent means it's often referred to as the bible of color

revolutions dr sharp looking at how revolutions and fall in the arab world do you see it as transition from dictatorship to democracy i see a first step in the. in the sense of bringing down the all this is the old do tutorials system and it doesn't seem to you that people there are trading one form of oppression for another they're often happens. that happens and it's a good set to bring down a person. this person's so they have to be very careful but we think the egyptians weren't very careful what they have now is their military brutally cracking down on protesters we hear about all kinds of abuses islamists are gaining power in the country my question is this what kind of democracy could the current state of affairs in egypt possibly create. removes made

a mistake they should never board condition give the parliament to the army and now resign. because yes it is it's been the agent of repression and egypt for decades and they're not going to change overnight it's unclear. as i don't know i do that the to the nation what their pricing is and all . that it's a different kind of situation than the predominately store well we did start out as a largely nonviolent popular uprising but we see what it turned into could it be that your concept of nonviolent uprisings is kind of over do you in this day and age i mean look at the arab world it's a bloody mess you get bloody mess is going you get people standing up and saying we want a change because there's no one like to be told we don't love you anymore you're

right you know the second your go and they will use whatever means of controlling repression and killing and intimidation they can muster and when to not be surprised that so uprisings like that can't be nonviolent in principle they can if they go to many many more will die. this is not a solution to people dying many people couldn't run for presidency and civil wars and international military intervention. in syria for example and. if they go into a civil war for an intervention in syria many many many more will die is said to critics of the syrian opposition absolutely refuses to talk to the government don't you think it deepens the crisis adds to the violence what they're doing there in refusing to negotiate because negotiations are. the pressure

government use to get the resistors not to resist but you go with the ship you have to go through it but that situation basically rules out nonviolent struggle that you were talking about it provokes while it is causing the regime. use what i don't see maybe. so people should be dying in the name of revolution is that what you're saying and you seem to have. something and the only means are quite to the contrary oh no i just see a bloody mess instead of the idea makes nonviolence surge that you are writing about in the book let me ask you this the us nato have set a precedent with the military intervention in libya could it do you think it creates a situation in syria where radical elements among the syrian opposition are more

inclined to provoke these sorties in order to invite an intervention i think you can intervene in military intervention is a very dangerous and. b. and and some syrians have been doing that that's very unfortunate because that will not help that we're not being a democracy that will be a victory by the outside forces being assuming you get rid of the old regime then the new regime will be heavily influenced by the powers that intervene us and france or whoever it is so that they will have a major say over government happens and that's not the power of the syrian people but yours i think should be is that what happened in libya yes in your opinion what's in it for the u.s. when it decides to meddle in foreign revolutions in foreign affairs you know that as well or better than i do you know. i'm not talking about u.s.

policy why let's talk about it why opinion is u.s. government should not be intervening in military in the name of democracy because if it doesn't work and they can serve other objectives what about nonmilitary means it seems they're using all kinds of means their means of service should be used by the u.s. government but by the people of that country to get rid of. a lot of people are getting this. sense that washington is more into establishing friendly regimes rather than democracies if we take libya for example people there are afraid to speak up right now i mean we have reporters on the ground and they have to blur people's faces all the time because people are afraid of being seen the leadership there is about to introduce sharia law as the basis for their new laws which is pretty much incompatible with democratic values so you pretty much looks like an example of how instead of a supposed transition to democracy people are getting pretty much the opposite so i

think the b. is a different case because that's a case where the. changes in the. foreign forces combine to assume or were down the gadhafi regime that's an example of the government to the grocer or on a slightly different note occupy wall street a very peaceful movement by all standards do you find them effective you know. you know. people. are annoyed. they were angry with the stream limited political control they have. the extreme this now and distribution of. some of the people making the expression of their opinions. symbolism does not change the

distribution of wealth in a country so you're saying no change is possible through the kind of nonviolent action that's your. change opinions may be but this is not sufficient let's get back to the arab world people there seem to be getting more and more convinced that nonviolence doesn't get them anywhere either do you think change can be brought about only through revolution. change can be both ways but what kind of change exactly i'm glad you brought that up because it seems the way it is now is people take to the streets with genuine aspirations but those who take advantage of those uprisings end up stepping on people's rights as well as they are pretty assessors had change can be from dictatorship to new to. me many years ago. they. mean it's inevitable but no means the kind of action that you choose to use.

determine what kind of result you get it's clear that the records extreme care and extreme good judgment and clear thinking and strong to prevent that from happening i see a contradiction between this idealist view of a nonviolent revolution and a reality you know someone said and i don't remember who it was but it goes any revolution is started by idealists carried out by fanatics and taken advantage of by bastards around the world. but in any revolution some are different in your work you outlined this steps that would make a revolution happen but what i think was overlooked is life after a revolution and in most cases it is a set tale you should be concerned about. because

in concluding pages. it warns about. it's sort of a solution to what to do correctly but it warns about but that warning of yours is being largely ignored don't you think i believe that it's a problem that's why we've got more work going on thank you very much for the interview but it's. when i'm comfortable question leads to a grave accusation towards sue's moore's you know fog. the president who isn't supposed to hide anything. or it's someone asking him why do you make a secret of it when the powers to be suppress the voice of those who think

different. when you get experiencing very serious problems off of the saakashvili government came to power in two thousand and three but the book that was when the problems began piling up. interviews were now off limits to our journalists they were all from peace not been humiliated in public and one of the attempt to protect property puts life in real danger is that we have been deprived of the only safe and living and have gone to our original since all the papers. got their little ice-t. ownership rights on the basis of congo's freedom becomes just a stage prop. now it's not about spilling blood. just the war of the barricades from one side and fears blockade from the other.
